The whole tennis world wants to enjoy again the superb version that almost crowned him champion Wimbledon in 2022where he just gave up in the final against another great Novak Djokovic.
Nick Kyrgios, whose particular character restricted an enormous talent, also made many people hate him, fed up with his outbursts and unsporting behavior. He has been out of the circuit for a long time and has said many times that tennis does not keep him awake so it is not known if the Australian will return to appear on court or if he will retire soon. .
The ‘Aussie’ has threatened to leave elite tennis once, but his talent is his talent so that after a few months he regained his best level, so high that he can compete with anyone and aim uncomplicatedly at world number 1 and in titles. of grand slam.
“The year 2022 is sensational. At the beginning of that year I was thinking of not playing anymore, but then I had the best season of my career, and that was crazy,” Kyrgios said a few months ago, happily that year after winning with his friend Thanasi Kokkinakis the doubles title Australian Open and become an individual finalist at Wimbledon.
However, that good sporting streak was cut short by injuries. The knee and wrist prevented him from competing since the expected 2022, since in 2023 he appeared only in Stuttgart ATP to have a short return: defeat against Yibing Wu and the evidence that his body is not up to many trots in high competition. Last January, he served as a television commentator at the Australian Open.
In this scenario of uncertainty, Kyrgios, winner of seven ATP titlesfinally gave his fans a clue to applaud as he confirmed that next week he will pick up the racket again and, while not setting a return date, he is determined to stay active.
“The injury is very serious, but now I’m sure I’ll be back on the court. Next week I’ll play for the first time in a long time and, from there, gradually pick up the pace. . I’ll be back, but it’s “It’s hard to give exact date because the damage is severe. I’m going to take my time, come back and enjoy my return to the slopes,” Nick said on the podcast. The Australian Open Show.
“The last year has been the most difficult of my life as a professional tennis player. Many things crossed my mind and I had to reflect deeply, but I will come back and give joy to my fans,” added Kyrgios, who suggesting again. that the withdrawal option is also on the table.
“I feel like I still have an inner fire that pushes me to do all this to come back. I know that I don’t have to do it, that I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, but I want to compete again and enjoy those experiences,” said the ‘aussie’, who for many has the best serve on the circuit.
Nick earns his reputation as a ‘bad boy’ on the slopes, but meets his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, helped him better channel his volcanic character and he is determined to continue improving in that aspect as well. Or, at least, that’s what he says. “I made a lot of mistakes and made bad decisions in my life, but I learned from them and now I’m more confident in myself,” said the Australian tennis player, who reached his best world ranking in 2016 (13th ).
Kyrgios managed to beat three of the best players in history, Novak Djokovic (24 Grand Slams), Rafael Nadal (22) and Roger Federer (twenty). At that level, the Australian could once again be a great entertainer on the circuit in the period after ‘Big Three’where the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz20 years old, and the Italian Jannik Sinner22, is emerging as the main heir to the throne.
